Association des Juristes Maliennes (AJM)

Association des Juristes de Mali (AJM) seeks to defend the rights of women through popularising the law and providing legal aid to less fortunate women and female detainees. AJM works to promote the rights of women through the reading, adoption and application of national laws and advocates for decision-makers to harmonise national laws with the international conventions that have an impact on the status of women. In its effort to promote and defend the rights of women, the AJM is a part of national, regional and international networks. AJM has been involved in the drafting and lobbying for the ratification of the Protocol and continues to undertake activities aimed at popularising the Protocol among their members and other legal practitioners. AJM is working at all levels - from parliament and government to the grassroots - in order to ensure an understanding of the protocol and its eventual application for the benefit of the women of Mali.
